Yesterday I got a call from a friend who told me to turn on the TV. The show, The Doctors, was coming on. Their topic was one that is close to my heart…seriously! H20! Naturally, I was eager to hear what they had to say but was crazy busy so I said a little prayer, saved my heart from stress and thanked TIVO.

Anyway, they were giving especially good information with stupendous visual aids. I just love it when you can see actual organs. The heart information was compelling and made more so by an actual enlarged heart the result of chronic dehydration. Seeing the heart of someone who died from heart disease definitely makes you stop and think about the complications you can bring about when you don’t get enough water into your system.

People who drink less than two glasses of water a day have more than twice the risk of heart attack than those who drink five glasses a day. Those who are chronically dehydrated have a heart that beats twice as fast as it should and is much bigger in size. They also have very thick blood. None of it good.

Tony Robbins, in a seminar he gave years ago, talked about alkalizing. In this seminar he pointed out that when you take in a lot of sugar, it presents as acid and acid subsequently turns to a glue-like composition in the arteries called plaque. It’s this condition that can lead to an enlarged heart and an enlarged heart is an attack waiting to happen.

To put things into perspective, the risk of a heart attack for someone who is abusing their water intake by not drinking an adequate amount is as high as for those who smoke. For those who prefer soda over water or those who think they are getting adequate water from drinks with water in them, they are sadly misinformed and ‘dead’ wrong.

The only honest solution to correct your body balance and therefore help prevent heart disease is to drink water and plenty of it. Nothing can take the place of straight H2O. The message is this, stay hydrated and stay healthy. Better yet, if you drink micro-ionized Kangen Water^(TM) you optimize your hydration and give your old blood stream a rest from working so hard to keep you alive.
